unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!

[ttowler]

OMG, after 2 days of screwing with this my phone is back to life!! Turned out the microSD card I was formatting wasn't being read for some reason. I had tried to use the microSD card that was in the phone, but none of my card readers would recognize it so I couldnt get the RAPHIMG.nbf file onto it. But I finally tried putting it into one of my cameras, hooked the camera up to the computer, and VOILA it saw the card so I was able to get the RAPHIMG.nbf file onto it and finally got it to give me the option to load it from the bootloader screen. You guys were right, phone only needs to be unlocked. I was ready to throw this thing away cause I couldn't do anything with it! Thanks guys, I'm one happy camper!

Razorloves - I'll be honest, I didnt realize there was an order to the middle button/volume. Only that you had to hold them before the power button. I could have been doing them in the wrong order for the 30 times I tried a hard reset! LOL. That might have worked as well. Oh well, problem solved!

flash the stock signed sprint rom here

Then you will need to start over and unlock your phone and flash a new custom rom by following the steps in my first post.

It should be pretty much instant. Put the exe on your SD card and do a hard reset to wipe the phone and try again.

EDIT ****

wait a sec, your profile says you have the touch pro 2. if this is the case you need to look at my other guide on the touch pro 2 upgrades stickies linked here

try a different SD card, sometimes people just get delt a crappy one which the bootloader cannot see properly.

botom of my first post

RELOCKING

Relocking is actually MUCH easier than unlocking. There is really just two steps.

step 1.) Flash a stock SHIPPED rom (not dumped while a dumped rom is just the stock rom, the certificats are signes wrong and once you flash the locker it will give an invalid rom error.

step 2.) entering bootloader by using the sspl exe linked above, flash the relocker this again is a flash exactly like a normal rom flash except for your mode of entering bootloader. after these two steps are done, you are relocked.

A few people have mentioned hitting the unbootable cycle when relocking just like when unlocking. if this happens, just flash

all files and links are in the first post on this thread. pm me if you have more issues.

Hi,
I am on my 3rd or 4th Sprint Touch Pro (due to the previous TP's keyboards going out). I have always used this thread, specifically the first post to unlock, flash, and re-lock my phones before taking them into Sprint.
I have insurance, and my screen is slowly crapping out on me, so i find myself attempting to relock my phone once again. I have installed a Shipped, not dumped, ROM (although i have tried a dumped ROM and a few diff shipped ones) and followed all steps exactly. I have even tried this different SD cards in case that was my problem (on 8GB Lexar, 1GB SanDisk, and on a 2GB PNY).
All i get when i enter bootloader manually is "loading". (And yes, the sprint relocker nbh file was renamed as RAPHIMG).

I don't know what is wrong, if you have any ideas I'm all ears and would greatly appreciate any help or ideas.

You can PM me, or repost in this thread.
Will thank anybody that helps!!

Thanks, sacroyalty
